Explore the entangled relationships between people, plants and fungi with artist Adele Wilkes and mycologist Caine Barlow, in a conversation ranging from mythology and ethnobotany to theories about the ‘more than human’. Wilkes will provide insights into her work The Poison Garden 2022, a multimedia documentary project about a psychedelic botanical garden and the people who tend it. Caine Barlow will discuss examples of human reliance on plants and fungi, and unpack the many myths and narratives, both respectful and playful, around psychoactive specimens such as Amanita muscaria.
